June 26 marked a historic day in Aborig-inal-Canadian relations after a unanimous de-cision by the Supreme Court of Canada was delivered that upheld the rights of indigenous communites to owner-ship of traditional ter-ritory.

The decision comes in a case that is nearly 20 years old in which the Tsilhqot’in First Na-tion laid claim to some 1,700 km of land in the Nemiah Valley.

The decision was not just cause for the people of Tsilhqot’in to celebrate but rather set precedent for all First Nations communities in British Columbia.

The news was cause for celebration for the Nak’azdli First Nation of the Fort St. James area. The Nak’azdli have been involved in an on-going struggle against the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline which would be built through their traditional territory.

The Supreme Court decision means that aboriginal communties like the Nak’azdli First Nation, have the legal right to refuse consent to any development or encroachment on their traditional territory.

Nak’azdli members took to the streets with drums and song in re-sponse to the landmark announcement.

Nak’azdli chief Fred Sam hopes this will be the end of the pipeline saying “We really don’t

Supreme Court ruling a “Light at the end of the tunnel”

want it going through our territory. We haven’t giv-en our consent.”

In many ways, this is not only a victory for First Nations people but for all British Columbians who opposed the pipeline, as this decision will create a considerable roadblock for companies like En-bridge to navigate around.

Sam said he believes that the federal govern-ment needs to listen not only to the First Nation’s

community, but also to all British Columbians - an overwhelming number of which are opposed to the pipeline.

Sam added that thus far, there has been no con-tact from the federal government who are supposed to consult with First Nations on these issues. “Can-ada has not approached us at all.”

Sam insists that Nak’azdli are not against de-velopment or business in their lands, but rather are

for environmentally sound, responsible business. “We’re a forward thinking community,” he said. “We need fair deals and the environment needs to be a priority. We need to look at these partnerships in greater depth.”

Sam said the decision is like seeing the light at the end of a tunnel and that he hopes the govern-ment sees it too, “Hopefully they see it’s important to work with us.”

Teresa MallamPrince George Free Press

Testifying at a B.C. Supreme Court trial Thursday afternoon, an RCMP offi-cer regularly on the beat in downtown Prince George said he saw and spoke with murder victim Jill Stuchenko, 35, for the last time in October 2009.

RCMP Const. Mike Hansen, a mem-ber in Prince George since 1995, said he’d known Stuchenko for several years but had not seen her for some time when he noticed her on Oct. 9, 2009 in the early evening, walking near Queensway. Her remains were found in a gravel pit off Otway Road on Oct. 26, 2009.

The two had a three- to five-minute “short conversation”, he said, adding she was making her way on foot head-ing towards Victoria Street.

Cody Alan Legebokoff, 24, is charged with the murders of Stuchenko and three other area women, Loren Leslie,

Cynthia Maas and Natasha Montgom-ery. His trial, before a 14-person jury, began June 2.

Asked how he knew Stuchenko, the officer said she was “one of the street workers.”

He usually saw her in the vicinity of Juniper Street and the VLA area on streets such as Pine and Oak, he said.

During cross examination, defence lawyer James Heller referred Hansen to an interview he had given an RCMP colleague about Stuchenko after her body was discovered. He agreed he’d told the officer that Stuchenko was usu-ally talkative and outgoing but on this final occasion was not.

“You knew she was a drug user?” asked Heller.

“Not directly … but I assumed so,” said Hansen.

“The last time you saw her, she wasn’t herself so to speak?”

Hansen agreed she was not.In other testimony heard Thursday,

RCMP. Sgt. John Took, a forensic identification specialist, described his involvement in an April 13-16, 2011 search of a Carney Street dwelling where an earlier witness said he first met Legebokoff (he was not named as a tenant).

The officer said he and his team used white light and coloured lasers in the thorough examination of the premises.

Shown a booklet of photographs taken by Cpl. Kimberley Tremblay (she testified earlier in the week), Took told the court he took measurements at the scene of all the rooms, made sketches of both floors of the house and later made them into computer generated diagrams.

The officer said they used white light, bright forensic light, ultraviolet and blue lights, forensic lasers, all dif-ferent colours “as you see on T.V.” By darkening the room and using different light techniques and special goggles, it is possible to “better see things” with-

out the distractions, he said.The same approach was used upstairs and

downstairs, he testified.“[We] searched every room and every surface

of that residence.”Samples were taken to test for the potential

of any blood evidence, in some cases taking cuttings of carpet, he said.

The trial resumed July 2.

SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 91 (NECHAKO LAKES)

NOTICE OF SUMMER OFFICE CLOSUREJuly 7, 2014 - August 15, 2014

The School District Administration Office at 153 E. Connaught Street in Vanderhoof will close to the public at 4:30 pm on Friday, July 4, 2014, and will re-open at 8:30 am on Monday, August 18, 2014.

A $2.6 million contract has been awarded to Hoban Construction Ltd. of Vernon to con-struct a 2.3 kilometre westbound passing lane on Highway 16 just west of Barsness Road be-tween Vanderhoof and Prince George.

The passing lane will improve traf� c � ow and reduce congestion along the Highway 16 corridor, and also improve safety by providing better passing opportunities for both commer-cial and personal vehicles.

“This passing lane on Highway 16 will provide much safer opportunities for commer-cial and personal traf� c to pass other vehicles on this busy stretch of highway,” said Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad. “This will be a great improvement for anyone traveling between Vanderhoof and Prince George.”

As the main transportation corridor con-necting travelers from the Alberta border to Prince Rupert, Highway 16 was classi� ed as a Class A highway, for winter maintenance, by the B.C. Government in January 2014.

Work on the passing lane is scheduled to be completed by late-September 2014.

Tom FletcherBlack Press

The Supreme Court of Canada’s decision upholding aboriginal ti-tle in the Nemiah Valley in B.C.’s Southern Interior has major impli-cations for provincial government policy, and the most immediate may be to forest licences.

The ruling comes as the B.C. government considers the results of a province-wide consultation on converting volume-based timber cutting permits to area-based per-mits, to encourage longer-term for-est stewardship by licence holders on Crown land.

About 40 per cent of B.C.’s tim-ber is harvested under 180 volume-based forests licences on Crown land. Private land is not subject to these licences, and was also exclud-ed from the Tsilhqot’in Nation ab-original title case that struck down a forest harvest licence issued in 1983.

B.C. Attorney General Suzanne Anton said it will take some time for the province to consider amend-ing the Forest Act and other legis-lation that has been affected by the

decision.More than 90% of B.C. is Crown

land, and much of that is subject to forest licences as well as unre-solved aboriginal land claims. In the Tsilhqot’in territory west of Williams Lake, the high court’s landmark ruling clarified the effect of aboriginal title.

“Now that title has been estab-lished [in the Tsilhqot’in claim area], the timber on it no longer falls within the definition of ‘Crown timber’ and the Forest Act no longer applies,” wrote Chief Justice Bev-erley McLachlin in the unanimous judgment released June 26.

McLachlin wrote that the B.C. government can still enforce “gen-eral regulatory legislation” such as that dealing with pest invasions or forest fire control in areas of proven aboriginal title. But a timber licence in such an area is “a direct transfer of aboriginal property rights to a third party” that would have to be agreed to by aboriginal title holders or justified as an intrusion of their constitutional rights.

The judgment left it open to the B.C. government to amend the For-est Act so it conforms with aborigi-nal title as it is declared.

Aboriginal title upsets B.C. forest policy

Forest products are mostly harvested from Crown land in B.C., subject to aboriginal title over large areas of the province.

Black Press file photo

In recent years the province has begun ne-gotiating resource sharing agreements with ab-original communities, including forest tenures and shares of provincial royalties from mines.

Two weeks before the Tsilhqot’in judgment, the B.C. government announced a three-year

“stewardship agreement” with five Tsilhqot’in member communities.

The province is providing $670,000 per year for projects to address forest and wildlife ef-fects from the mountain pine beetle epidemic in the region.

Agriculture in the north is often over-looked, but University of Northern British Columbia graduate student Serena Black and alumna Jillian Merrick are working together to both promote the industry and help it take root in the next generation of farmers.

Black is a few generations removed from her family’s farming background in Quesnel, but her research into barley is not only providing valuable data to current producers in the North, she also plans to use the � ndings when she begins her own farming career.

“There’s something about being on the land and growing your own food,” Black said. “I think there’s great opportunity, es-pecially for young people who want to get into it in this region.”

A Master of Science student in Natu-ral Resources and Environmental Stud-ies, Black has spent the past three years studying different hybrid and heritage varieties of barley and how they handle water stress. As one of the trailblazers for agricultural research at UNBC, Black also spent a great deal of time talking with cur-

rent producers about what type of research would be most helpful to them.

With funding secured through the Om-ineca Beetle Action Coalition, Black has been able to work with farmers from the Robson Valley to the Bulkley Valley to identify concerns and help develop re-search projects which could provide solu-tions.

“I think the biggest thing about agricul-ture and farming is that it’s so contextual and so localized,” she said. “Even on a single � eld, one part could have beautiful soils and the other part could be getting a little bit rocky. The variation is huge and it’s the producers who know their land.”

While Black is busy doing the research, UNBC economics and international stud-ies graduate Merrick is busy working through practical solutions with farmers every day. As the program coordinator with Beyond the Market in Prince George, Merrick is tasked with reaching out to those in the agricultural community and helping them overcome the challenges that arise.

Merrick said the biggest barrier facing

farmers in the southern part of B.C. is the increasing price of land. But in the north the biggest challenge is the knowledge and information gap. With funding from regional districts and other municipal gov-ernments, Merrick is able to connect farm-ers with the most relevant resources.

“People don’t always have access to the information, training, and mentors,” Merrick said. “We’re a grassroots solution to that gap.”

Merrick said her work goes hand in hand with the research Black is conduct-ing. By focusing research on the speci� c issues that exist in the north – from soil to climate to topography – solutions can be more applicable for local farmers.

“It’s a real symbiotic relationship,” Merrick said.

In addition to providing farmers with information about what varieties of barley are best suited to speci� c regions of the north, Black also hopes her research will open the doors to further agricultural stud-ies at UNBC. Part of her work is develop-ing a research strategy future students can use to expand on her work or to explore a

Agriculture a Growth Industry in Northern BCdifferent direction.

Black credits the � exibility of the UNBC Natu-ral Resources and Environmental Studies program with giving her the opportunity to explore her pas-sion for agriculture in a northern context.

“You wouldn’t be able to do this at any other university,” she said. “There are more opportunities than you can say yes to.”

Prairiedale School was one of the oldest schools in the Nechako re-gion. This year Prairiedale closed its doors for good after nearly a century in operation. The now defunct school opened in 1924 and is the subject of a new retrospective book titled Prairie-dale: The Little School that Was. The book was put together by Myrna Bai-ley, a former custodian of Prairiedale.

“I was very teary-eyed about the school closing,” Bailey said. “Five generations of families have gone through the school.”

Prairiedale’s closure comes after a decline in students throughout the region. Bailey says she believes the

school is being closed because of a need to increase the number of stu-dents attending schools in downtown Vanderhoof. “The schools in town are low on students so they want to � ll them up.”

The response to Bailey’s retro-spective has been overwhelming. She has seen � nancial support from the school district which helped to cover printing costs. Dozens of former stu-dents and faculty also contributed content to the book.

It’s not just the students and alum-ni that are getting teary-eyed over the school’s closure, but the faculty too, “some of the teachers have been there for over 20 years,” Bailey said.

Bailey says that this book really is more than just a history of a school,

Remembering PrairiedaleRetrospective book looks back on Prairiedale Elementary’s history

but is rather a history of the Prairiedale area all to-gether. “There are so many stories to be told about it.”

All proceeds from books sales will go to a bur-sary fund given out to Alumni of Prairiedale. The bursary will be active until 2026, when the last Prairiedale students graduate from high school.
